Product details
Overview
AD4696BCPZ from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 16-channel, 1 MSPS multiplexed SAR ADC with Easy Drive architecture, integrated oversampling (up to OSR = 64), on-chip reference buffer (in WLCSP only - not applicable to BCPZ), and autonomous conversion mode. It delivers ±1.0 LSB INL, 93 dB SINAD at 1 kHz, and operates from −40°C to +125°C in a 5 mm × 5 mm 32-lead LFCSP package for high-density precision data acquisition in photodiode monitoring and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD4696BCPZ datasheet, AD4696BCPZ pinout, AD4696BCPZ application, or AD4696BCPZ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications including true 16-bit no-missing-codes performance, 1 MSPS sample rate, analog input overvoltage protection up to 5 mA per channel, long acquisition phase (715 ns/1000 ns), and low-power operation (8 mW at 1 MSPS) - all critical for multichannel industrial sensor systems requiring minimal AFE complexity.
Technical Context
The AD4696BCPZ implements a true 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) core with no missing codes and features a 16-channel low-crosstalk multiplexer, flexible channel sequencer, and threshold detection with alert indicators. Its Easy Drive architecture enables analog input high-Z mode and reference input high-Z mode, reducing external driver requirements.
It supports unipolar and pseudobipolar input modes, offers on-chip oversampling and decimation (OSR = 1–64), offset/gain correction registers, and autocycle mode for interrupt-driven low-power firmware. The LFCSP package variant lacks the internal reference buffer found only in the WLCSP version, requiring external buffered reference drive.

Pinout & Package
AD4696BCPZ is housed in a 32-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP) with exposed paddle (EP). This thermally enhanced package supports high-reliability operation in extended temperature environments and enables efficient PCB heat dissipation without additional heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVDD | Analog supply input | 2.7 V to 5.5 V single supply; powers SAR core, mux, and analog front end - must be locally decoupled with 10 µF + 100 nF. |
| VIO | Digital I/O supply | 1.14 V to 1.98 V logic interface - enables direct connection to 1.8 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| REF/REFIN | Reference voltage input | Accepts 2.4 V to AVDD + 0.25 V; high-Z mode reduces drive burden - requires external buffer when using unbuffered reference sources. |
| CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Edge-sensitive input initiating sampling; supports hardware-triggered synchronized acquisition across multiple ADCs. |
| SDO_A / SDO_B / SDO_C / SDO_D | Serial data outputs | Quad-SDO mode allows 16-bit readout at ≤12.5 MHz SPI clock - halves required SCLK frequency vs. single-SDO mode. |
| ALERT | Threshold violation indicator | Open-drain output asserting on channel-specific over/under-limit events - enables interrupt-driven firmware with zero polling overhead. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Easy Drive analog input high-Z mode | Reduces input drive requirement to <12 µA at 1 MSPS - eliminates need for dedicated op-amp drivers in multichannel AFEs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel precision ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD4695BCPZ | Same LFCSP package and pinout, but rated for 500 kSPS max sample rate and lower power (4 mW at 500 kSPS); identical INL/SINAD specs. | Targeted at cost-optimized or lower-bandwidth systems where 1 MSPS is unnecessary - e.g., slow-scan process control or environmental logging. | Select AD4695BCPZ when aggregate throughput ≤500 kSPS suffices and board space/power budget permits same footprint. |
| LTC2358ILX-16#PBF | 16-bit, 8-channel, 1 MSPS SAR ADC in 48-lead LQFP; no on-chip oversampling or autocycle mode; requires external reference buffer and driver amplifiers. | Designed for high-voltage industrial inputs (±10.24 V range); lacks integrated overvoltage clamps and threshold detection logic. | Choose LTC2358ILX-16#PBF only when needing higher input voltage range or LQFP assembly compatibility - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with AD4696BCPZ, AD4695BCPZ offers identical feature set at half the speed and power, making it suitable for bandwidth-constrained designs; LTC2358ILX-16#PBF trades integrated digital functionality for wider input range and different packaging, increasing BOM count and layout complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD4696BCPZ?
The AD4696BCPZ supports a maximum sample rate of 1 MSPS in conversion mode. This applies to the full 16-channel sequence in round-robin fashion, yielding an effective per-channel rate of approximately 62.5 kSPS. The device maintains ±1.0 LSB INL and 93 dB SINAD at this rate, as validated in the Rev. B datasheet under standard test conditions (VREF = 5 V, fIN = 1 kHz, TA = −40°C to +125°C). The AD4696BCPZ is distinct from the AD4695BCPZ, which is limited to 500 kSPS.
Does the AD4696BCPZ include an on-chip reference buffer?
No, the AD4696BCPZ (LFCSP package) does not include an on-chip reference buffer. That feature is exclusive to the WLCSP variant (e.g., AD4696BCPZ-RL7 in 36-ball WLCSP). The AD4696BCPZ requires an externally buffered reference source capable of driving up to 320 µA at 1 MSPS when reference high-Z mode is disabled, or as low as 12 µA when enabled. Reference input high-Z mode must be configured via register to reduce drive burden.
How does the Easy Drive architecture reduce system design complexity for the AD4696BCPZ?
The Easy Drive architecture in the AD4696BCPZ reduces system design complexity through analog input high-Z mode and reference input high-Z mode, lowering required drive current to ≤12 µA at 1 MSPS. This eliminates the need for high-speed op-amp drivers in front of each channel and simplifies reference circuitry - especially beneficial in 16-channel layouts where board area and power are constrained. The AD4696BCPZ also integrates overvoltage clamps (±5 mA per input) and threshold detection, further reducing discrete protection components.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the AD4696BCPZ use?
The AD4696BCPZ uses a 32-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP) with exposed paddle (EP). Its thermal resistance θJA is 36°C/W (JEDEC standard, 2-layer board), and θJC is 5.5°C/W, enabling reliable operation up to +125°C ambient when properly mounted with soldered EP to a thermal pad. This package supports high channel density while maintaining thermal stability in compact industrial and medical enclosures.
Can the AD4696BCPZ operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the AD4696BCPZ can operate from a single 3.3 V analog supply (AVDD = 3.3 V), within its specified 2.7 V to 5.5 V range. Digital I/O (VIO) may be independently supplied from 1.14 V to 1.98 V - allowing direct interfacing with 1.8 V microcontrollers. The internal LDO can be disabled to support dual-supply configurations, and standby power drops to 4 µW when both LDO and reference buffer are disabled - ideal for battery-backed systems.
